Request: Disable merits in the Wall Observer thread, a few users were accused of shitposting for Merits. When I checked their post history, the only posts I had Merited were the ones to announce their "achievements" in Rank. That made me realize I should be more careful.
And the users who are shitposting for Merits should realize that may work in the short term, but in the longer term they'll end up on many Ignore lists, so they'll earn less Merit.To stay on topic: I've reached 3000 Activity last month! That took much, much longer than 3000 Merit so I'd say it counts as an achievement of "sticking around long enough". I'm still behind compared to
The Sceptical Chymist who joined a month later than me. I wasn't very active in my early days on Bitcointalk.
Well, since this is the case, then I demand half the congratulations on your achievement!
I also passed the 1500 activity mark last month. It's almost the same achievement as
I've reached 3000 Activity last month! That took much, much longer than 3000 Merit so I'd say it counts as an achievement of "sticking around long enough"
but divided by 2.
How could I miss this event without reporting in this topic.
By the way, 3000 activity is an impressive figure and this is more than 8 years spent on this forum. It is important that almost all this period remaining active. It is worthy of praise, but I will not praise.
The path to merit can't be easy and fast (with a few exceptions) and will take a long time, therefore, attempts to cheat will not be successful. It's almost like with bitcoin - it only bears fruit in the long run.
